Lingering on love

One last tear for the beloved One last time before closing the book Would love to hold on, despite vain
But the picture of reality’s changing. One last prayer for happiness The last nurturing of the garden of memories Fostered with devotion, all that will tomorrow die One last turn to whisper goodbye. These feet would tread those grounds no more Chained they will be the day after These arms would reach out no more Clasped with hands, that won’t be yours. One last sigh for the fading dream Wish that time would learn to wait Should’ve been strong in resisting love Would’ve been spared the wounds that now won’t heal. The last whisper to bid childhood goodbye One last wish to hold your hand These memories will tomorrow be buried Along with the dreams I depicted of you. Cry me a tear, to pretend that it mattered to you Bid farewell like you’ll miss me, as I leave One last time, for my stay is short
& as I commit to someone else, I’ll set you free.
